The Witcher: Make Witcher Great Again

Chapter 4 If He Is Unrespectable, Help Him Be Respectable

"Cat of Iyero, what are you doing in Kaer Morhen? I don't recall inviting you."

The witchers of the Wolf School stood up together.

Vesemir stared intently at the man who emerged from the shadows.

Geralt grabbed the silver candlestick from the table.

Eskar and Lambert blocked Lin En behind them.

"As expected of a wolf's close relative, your hearing is excellent," the man said with a sarcastic smile. "I, the demon hunter Braihan of the Cat School, send my greetings."

Vesemir said coldly, "Put aside your hypocritical greetings. Witchers of the Cat School are not welcome in Kaer Morhen."

"Watch your attitude, old man. I'll give you another chance to reorganize your words. Don't forget, I have a sword in my hand, and you don't."

Braihan licked the gleaming sword in his hand.

However, Vesemir remained unmoved by his threats.

"I know your Cat School is quick to react, but don't forget, Cat of Iero, we Wolf School are not only good at wielding swords, we also master the magic seal ability that your Cat School does not possess."

"No matter how fast you react, you will still be in front of us, and this time is enough for us to release the seal."

"Are you sure that your leather armor can help you block four Igni Signs?"

Each school of witcher mutation is different.

The mutation of the Wolf School is balanced development.

The mutation of the Griffin School is to enhance the ability of the Sign.

As for the Cat School...

Since their founder was most likely a member of the Ein Seed (what humans call elves), their fighting characteristics are also inherited from the elves.

Witchers of the Cat School often possess incredible speed.

For example, an ordinary soldier may only be able to launch one attack in a round.

But the Cat School Demon Hunter can attack twice or even more.

Such amazing speed naturally gives them an advantage when fighting against humans.

However, everything has two sides.

When the demon hunters of the Cat School gained incredible speed, the gods also closed a window for them.

And "this window" is that the Cat School's ability in using sigils is the worst among all the Demon Hunter schools.

Even many demon hunters from the cat school do not have the ability to cast sigils.

Vesemir's threats worked.

Braihan's face darkened.

"You damned hypocrites! You can sit at the same table with the butcher of Blaviken. Why can't you be more generous and take in an executioner?"

Vesemir ordered them to leave: "Because we are not of the same kind as you. Leave now, Cat of Iero. If you do not want to leave in a dignified manner, then we will help you do so."

Braihan rolled his eyes and said with a shrewd argument, "Witchers don't fight with other witchers. This is the witcher code. Old man, do you want to break it?"

Yet Vesemir remained unmoved.

"If there's any violation of the rules, it was you, the Cat School, who broke them first, and I don't mind making an exception just for you. If you want to spit, I suggest you hold it in, or I'll use your face to wipe my floor."

Braihan forced himself to hold back the saliva in his mouth and swallow it back into his throat.

The two sides confronted each other for a while, and he seemed to finally give up and slowly retreated into the shadows.

After a while, peace returned to the surroundings.

Only the sound of the fire burning remained.

"He's gone," Vesemir breathed a sigh of relief. "Geralt, Eskar, Lambert, take Lynn upstairs to rest. It's getting late."

Geralt stood still. "I'll stay with you, Vesemir. Don't be so quick to contradict me. You're old and need someone to watch your back."

Vesemir thought about it and didn't refuse.

"That's fine too, Eskar, Lambert. Get some rest tonight. Tomorrow you two will be responsible for ensuring our 'guests' leave Blue Mountain."

"Lynn, my child, don't take what happened tonight to heart. Just forget it."

Vesemir said the previous words to Eskar and Lambert.

The following words were addressed to Lynn.

Lynn nodded.

He was very sensible and said nothing and asked nothing.

Together with Eskar and Lambert, he left the hall.

……

Accompanied by Eskar and Lambert, Lynn returned to the room upstairs.

"We will sleep next to you. If you are scared or can't sleep, you can come to us." Eskar said considerately.

"Thank you, Eskar and Lambert." Lambert couldn't help but say as he watched Lin En walk towards his room.

"Kid, don't you want to ask something?"

"No, good night."

The rooms in Kaer Morhen aren't very soundproof.

Even if the door is closed, you can still hear the sounds from outside coming in through the cracks in the door and the thin door panel.

"What a nasty little brat."

"You're talking about yourself, Lambert."

Lynn took off her clothes and lay down on the bed.

Look at the ceiling.

He wasn't pretending to be mature, but there really was nothing to ask.

Because he knew much more than Eskar and Lambert.

There is a reason why Vesemir does not welcome, or even hates, the School of Cats.

Long, long ago, when Geralt was still an apprentice, the Cat School had backstabbed the Wolf School.

The King of Kaedwen at the time was bewitched by the sorcerers and believed that the witchers would undermine his rule.

So, under the pretext of holding a witcher tournament, they tricked the Wolf School out and bribed the Cat School to attack the Wolf School.

In that bloody massacre, only Geralt and Vesemir escaped from the Wolf School witcher side.

Especially Geralt, who was lucky enough to survive with the help of a druid.

It was from that time that Vesemir began to develop a deep resistance and wariness towards the School of Cats.

Each school of witchers split from the witcher cult, but the inheritance obtained by each school is different, which also leads to different recipes for herbal decoctions.

The herbal decoction of the Cat School is even more special because their pioneers tried to secretly take away the herbal decoction formula when they left the cult, but unfortunately it was later taken back by the cult's witchers who chased them.

They had to find new ways of mutation, and they later succeeded, but the new herbal decoction formula also came with serious side effects.

The herbal decoction of the Cat School did not suppress the witcher's emotions, but instead strengthened them, and in the direction of extremes, paranoia, and insanity.

This is why most of the demon hunters of the Cat School are lunatics, psychopaths and sadists.

Not only do they frequently accept commissions for hired murders, but they also possess an overly flexible moral bottom line.

As for Brahan, he is the worst scum among scum.

Geralt's title of "Butcher of Blaviken" comes from the ignorant people who are well protected by Geralt.

But Brehan's "Cat of Iyero" and the Iyero massacre he caused are well-deserved of their name.

……

With Geralt and Vesemir keeping watch, Lynn slept soundly at night.

The next day, he woke up very early.

Since coming into this world, he has given up his previous habit of staying in bed and gets up as soon as he wakes up.

He came downstairs to the hall and saw Geralt and Vesemir sitting on the ground meditating.

When in a dangerous and complex environment, a demon hunter can use meditation instead of sleep.

The Demon Hunter's meditation also has the effect of restoring energy and eliminating fatigue.

And when meditating, you will always be aware of your surroundings, so if there is any movement, you can exit the meditation state at any time.

So, when they heard Lynn's footsteps, both Geralt and Vesemir opened their eyes.

Lynn said good morning to the two of them, and then took the initiative to make breakfast.

It didn't take long.

Eskar and Lambert also came down.

After the two of them had eaten the breakfast prepared by Lynn, Eskar took his sword and called Lambert.

"Come on, Lambert, let's go see off our 'friend' from the Cat School. Don't let him get lost in the snowy Blue Mountains."

This time, Lambert was unusually silent.

After the two left, Lin En and the other two were left sitting at the long table in the hall, enjoying breakfast.

"Vesemir, what should Lynn learn today?" Geralt suddenly asked as he picked up a piece of meat with his fork.

Vesemir felt a little thirsty and took a sip of beer.

"His swordsmanship course is making very good progress, so I plan to start taking him to the Sigil course starting today. After all, Sigils are an important part of being a demon hunter."

Geralt volunteered, "Then after breakfast, you go and rest first, and I'll teach him."

Vesemir was helpless.

"Please, I'm not that old yet, but your suggestion is not bad. Okay, I'll leave it to you."
